For the State : Mr. Shiv Shankar Kumar , Addl. PP 02 / 27.04.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has been made accused in connection with Chandwa P.S. Case No. 26/2025, corresponding to G.R. Case No. 309/2025 and S.T. No. 94/2025 instituted under Sections 310(2), 310(6), 311 of B.N.S. and u/s 17 of the C.L.A Act and charge-sheeted u/s 310(2), 310(6), 311 of B.N.S., u/s 17 of the C.L.A. Act and u/s 25(1-B)(a), 35 of the Arms Act. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that this is the second journey of the petitioner with the prayer for bail as earlier the prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected vide order dated 22.07.2025 passed in B.A. no. 6034 of 2025 and the fresh ground is that in the meanwhile, the informant has been examined as PW1 and in para 5 of the cross- examination, he has stated that he saw the petitioner in the police station and that is how he could identify the petitioner but he did not see the petitioner entirely at the place of occurrence. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in jail custody since 28.01.2025, as mentioned in para 20 of this bail application. It is next submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is ready and willing to co-operate with the trial of the case and undertakes not to annoy or disturb the informant or other witness of the case in any manner during the trial of the case, hence, the petitioner may be admitted to bail. Learned Addl. P.P. opposed the prayer for bail. Considering submissions of learned counsels and the facts as stated above, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Hence, the court below is directed to release the petitioner on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Sessions Judge- I, Latehar in connection with Chandwa P.S. Case No. 26/2025, corresponding to G.R. Case No. 309/2025 and S.T. No. 94/2025 with the condition that the petitioner will not annoy or disturb the informant or the other witness of the case in any manner during trial of the case and will co- operate with the trial of the case and will furnish mobile phone number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card in the court below with an undertaking that he will not change the mobile phone number during the trial of the case.
